Just wanted to say hi, and share that I've found it inspiring to read through your journal.

Back when you first started I had posted and wished you well. I was making a pretty big effort to improve myself at that time. I hit 2D on fox and suddenly lost the passion and just stopped.

I guess it's now been 5 or so years since I played. Over the years I've thought about taking it up again and often thought maybe there was no point.

Older now as tends to happen and I know I'll be much weaker. So seeing that you took quite big breaks and then came back and continued to get stronger is inspiring.

So I'm back to playing a few games and solving tsumego, will see where it takes me.

All the best

Zac
